Tombstone Mountain Posted September 13, 2012 Author Posted September 13, 2012 QUOTE (GeminiRising79 @ Sep 12 2012, 04:49 PM) Mass appeal ($$) is the primary objective for Rush at this stage in their game. The tapering ends of the Rush-fan population bell curve (refined listeners) were ignored, in essence, since it would take too much effort to squeeze out sufficient creativity to satisfy them. Fortunately, for Rush, the majority of the population is considerably dumbed-down which has favored more of a successful environment for them. if you want a laugh, picture Rush Limbaughmaking this statement

Zamboni14 Posted September 13, 2012 Posted September 13, 2012 I know I'm in the minority here, but I can't wait to see some of the CA songs live (title track being at the top of my list.) Also high on my "love to see live" songs is Manhattan Project

Gonna make it to 300 votes man...It'll be a great, ttruthful snapsot of the sentiment surrounding this tour. That's a lot of voters popping up giving some love. Sorry I'm a milker dude.
Echoes Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 Things could be better, but things could be much worse. Analog Kid was the song I wanted to hear most and they're playing it. Middletown Dreams was my second most wanted song, and if things stay consistent, I'll be getting it at my show. Though, the many offerings from PoW confuse me, especially with the B setlist playing three in a row, and four in the same set. A little more variety would be nice. Otherwise, it's a pretty killer set. Glad I'll finally get to hear Grand Finale. What a great way to end a show
seven-eye-dice Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 To be honest, I've never expected they would play so many songs from PoW.... But what can i say.... as PoW is my absolute favourite RUSH album I couldn't be happier!!! Only problem: I will see them only next year in Europe... hope they do not change the setlist until then.... but if so, it's still RUSH! There are enough KILLERS from EVERY decade!

European fans have such a long wait...doesn't seeem fair...Maybe the should've started in europe this time around right? Well, you will certainly enjoy it when they come to town!
seven-eye-dice Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I will! As they play 2 different setlists probably 2 times!!
ceddy10165 Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 I love it. I'm a big fan of the 80s and the new album. Grand Designs was one of my wish list songs.
losingit2k Posted September 14, 2012 Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) 4 songs from Power Windows isn't bad at all. It could have been 4 Songs from Presto: Show Don't Tell, Presto, The Pass, Available Light. Wait that isnt bad either, Ok It could have been 4 Songs from Roll the Bones: Dreamline, Bravado, Where's My Thing? Ghost of a Chance. Damn Stike two, Ok Here it is, Four songs from Caress of Steel: Bastile Day, Lakeside Park, The Necromancer, No On at the Bridge Shit that just got better, Alright, alright...four from Test for Echo: Test for Echo, Driven, Limbo, Time and Motion Forget it There isn't a RUSH album you can't pull 4 good songs from: Hold the phone! I got it: Vapor Trails: One Little Victory, Secret Touch, Earthshine, Vapor Trials, Ghost Rider Oops thats five. F*ck it! I give up! wins! Edited September 14, 2012 by losingit2k
